Burke beats Bublé, Houston to albums No.1

Alexandra Burke has beaten Michael Bublé and Whitney Houston to the top of the UK albums chart.

Her debut disc Overcome sold 132,065 copies in its first week of release to debut at number one. However, her track 'Bad Boys' is knocked off the top of the singles chart this week by Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love'.

Crazy Love, the fourth studio album from Canadian singer Bublé, lands at two on the albums countdown with sales of 78,006.

Meanwhile, Houston sold 51,632 copies of I Look To You, her first collection of new material since 2002, to debut at three.
